Hello L4S!

The apps aren’t much cheaper most of the time and many of them charge their own fee before you even have to tip.

That’s how I had hoped it would work. So if it continues, just one instance can clean it up so all the others don’t need to take any action.

Probably the easiest solution. Just had to remove another one, guess we’ll see what happens.

But non-spammy regular users wouldn’t be able to post or interact at that point, right? Also, how would that affect users on a third party instance? For example, I’m on lemm.ee

Genuine question, not too familiar with how the backend of Lemmy works and am curious to learn more :)

Ouch, that’s definitely way out of date and has several critical bugs in it that are unpatched.

I brought the spam issue from that instance to the attention of the admins for LW, they’re going to take a look into it. Will keep an eye out for more spamming today.

Loved this feature in Apollo! Would love to see it here as well.

I’m not actually sure how that works. If LW defederates does it block all users from that instance from posting? I would guess “yes” in that I believe the instance the community is hosted on plays a role in tracking posts to that community. If you’re curious, I would definitely ask one of the dev communities.

Will leave up for a little since I’m sure a lot of other people saw the barrage of spam from last night. Should be all cleaned up now.

Also, I do believe that is a legit instance, so it’s not likely it’ll be defederated, they’re likely a victim of the spammers as much as we are here… they just need to delete those accounts and block those IPs.

Unfortunately this isn’t an action that mods can take. The admins of each instance need to de-federate from it.

Awesome plan and will be checking in to also try to help answer questions people post when it goes live in the App Store. Love this app so far and really looking forward to seeing a successful launch!

Memmy has been a great fill-in, as has Lemmios. Memmy is probably a little further along, but both are definitely “Apollo-inspired” and both have been nice to use. Still some features missing that I have to come to the site for.

Couldn’t agree more! This is why the internet needs to stay as it is: anonymous, uncensored and open to all. At this point a free and open internet is an essential part of liberty.

Couldn’t agree more with this. I just use a Roku set top box with all my TVs and never even connect the TVs to the internet.

haha, too right! I hadn’t even thought of that :P

They were talking about this years ago and I haven’t heard anything on it in a while. Is it still even a project they’re working on? Also, what would be the environmental problems with this? I remember reading at one point about submarine power cables potentially causing issues with marine animals because of EMF, but I don’t think that was any kind of conclusive study.

The one I always find funny is tech CEOs or ads out there that use the term “quantum leap” to describe an improvement. In reality, a quantum leap is just when an electron changes orbitals – one of the smallest movements a piece of matter can make. In my mind, a device being described as a “quantum leap” ahead of it’s predecessor sounds like it’s barely changed at all. Even better is the state is often temporary as electrons jump up an orbital when absorbing energy and then will jump back down when they release it. All in all, a terrible marketing term.

Almost every part of the article was as entertaining as it was interesting, haha! Not only did they spend months tickling rats, but they actually turned up some new information on how the brain works in the process.

It’s the 5th most hit site globally, it’s going nowhere.

At this point, I’d say: Providing entertainment to the internet while also helping grow the fediverse
